Surprise!

Yesterday was our day off!  Since the shelter offices usually have their office meetings on Wednesdays, the group took a day to explore.  Our Alt. Break leaders, woke us up early and told us they had planned a surprise.  We rode the trolley (no near death experiences this time) down to Fisherman's Wharf and began walking towards Musee Mechanique, a weird looking antique arcade game museum.  We were not excited (we now realize we should have been because it was in The Princess Diaries). 

Seriously, this is a big deal.

Alcatraz, "The Rock"

Anyway, the surprise was actually A BOAT TOUR that took us around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge.  On the water, we had an audio tour of the surrounding bay area.  We saw amazing sights of the
Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.


Although we were experiencing some true Bay Area Fog and wind, we were still able to get some breathtaking views.  What a great surprise from our Alt. Break leaders!

Thanks for the surprise, JB and Nicole!

Next, the group went to Pier 39.  This is where we saw a huge group of seals sunbathing!  They were adorable, all cuddled up and napping!

Lastly, we took a bus to Golden Gate Park.  We had a relaxing day napping in the sun and playing frisbee and football.  We all have great sunburns to show off!
